A piece of magnesium with a mass of 0.121 g is added to 50.0 mL of a 1.00 M HCl solution at a temperature of 22 °C. When the magnesium dissolves, the solution reaches a temperature of 33 °C. For the equation, see your answer to Problem b.

a. What is the limiting reactant?


b. What volume, in milliliters, of hydrogen gas would be produced at 33 °C when the pressure is 750. mmHg?


c. How many joules were released by the reaction of the magnesium? Assume the density of the HCl solution is 1.0 g/mL and the specific heat of the HCl solution is the same as that of water.


d. What is the heat of reaction for magnesium in J/g? in kJ/mol?

Problem

A strip of magnesium metal dissolves rapidly in 6.00 mL of a 0.150 M HCl solution, producing hydrogen gas and magnesium chloride.

Magnesium metal reacts vigorously with hydrochloric acid.

a. Assign oxidation numbers to all of the elements in the reactants and products.


b. What is the balanced equation for the reaction?


c. What is the oxidizing agent?


d. What is the reducing agent?


e. What is the pH of the 0.150 M HCl solution?


f. How many grams of magnesium can dissolve in the HCl solution?
